🚨 IRAN’S SKY IS EMPTY — AND THE WORLD JUST CLOSED ITS AIRSPACE TO TEHRAN 🚨

This is not “routine disruption.”
This is a global pullback.
As protests erupt across all 31 provinces, the world’s airlines are shutting down routes into Iran at unprecedented scale.

Here is the full list:

✈️ UAE Airlines
• Emirates
• flydubai
• Etihad

✈️ Turkey
• Turkish Airlines
• AJet
• Pegasus
✈️ Qatar
• Qatar Airways
✈️ Other Regional and International Carriers
• Oman Air
• Kuwait Airways
• Bahrain’s Gulf Air
• Multiple charter and cargo operators
More than 17 Dubai to Iran flights were cancelled on January 9 alone.
Turkish Airlines cancelled over 20 flights citing “regional developments.”
Tabriz Airport suspended operations.
Nationwide NOTAM restrictions are in place.
Air defense systems are active and GPS jamming has been reported.
Internet blackout continues across Iran.

Iran Air is still flying, but delays and risks are increasing by the hour.
When airlines around the world pull out at the same time, it means one thing:
the country has entered crisis airspace.
The world is not just watching Iran.
The world is stepping away from it.

As for airline passenger disruptions, I doubt most Iranians care.

Regarding regime change, too early to say.
